Like work backwards right?
hero (hero):
Precisely
hero (hero):
For example, Assume 829.79 is the cost of the In-Style Package.
hero (hero):
Then 3(829.79) is the cost of the Premier Package
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok, so that equals 2,489.37..

plus the cost of the in-style package
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So that means..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm sorry, as you can see I'm lost
hero (hero):
$2489.37 is the cost of the Premier Package. Now add the cost of the in-style package.

Great, now add that to the msrp

I got 32,221.27
hero (hero):
Multiply that by 0.065
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got 2,094.38
hero (hero):
Add 32,221.27 + 2094.38

it equals 34,315.65
hero (hero):
Which is not 34,290.08
hero (hero):
Follow that same process for the other three choices.
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hardly
OpenStudy (anonymous):
None of them equaled 34,290.08 @Hero
hero (hero):
4(823.79) = 3295.16
28902.11 + 3295.16 = 32197.27
0.065(32197.27) = 2092.82
32197.27 + 2092.82 = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
34,290.09..
hero (hero):
Close enough
